    How To Recognize a Fellow Forum Member While On Camino

    I Met Sunny on Camino, for the first time, think it was in Zubiri. She was either with her husband/brother. Some time after this first meeting, I bumpeb into the couple again. The talk was about weather and what happens when it rains. My response was the same one I'd given on the Forum months...

    Thank you so much. I am quite enjoying seeing myself so clearly clambering up there. Yes, internet is great but ofttimes I just can't get my mind around all it offers. Thanks again.

    The door to the church was firmly padlocked. Picture taken from behind.

    Thank you Kinky One for that sage advice. Right on all counts.

    Yes, I think you're right about it being a shrine. But there is an ancient church some meters from the shrine. Hi Tom. There are actually two separate structures in this story : the shrine AND an ancient church(at least, I think it is a church). I just can't get the Pic of the church to load...

    I agree entirely with your sentiments, particularly back-tracking while you have options. And yes, it could have ended tragically. So, hopefully fellow-Pilgrims will take note. One really would think this 78 year old pilgrim would have better common sense, but there you are....

    This is a Pic of one part of the mountain which I inadvertently climbed.

    Thanks for the concern. I arrived in Santiago on the 20th(Oct) and yes, had the wrist seen to in Pamplona. Still quite painful but getting there. Am back in my own country now.

    Have Google and the church in Google is different. The crucifix appears to be the same except I don't see the steps/cut from rock in front of the altar in my Pic....

    Lost.... On the way from Estella to Los Arcos, lost my way. Climbed a mountain and found this. Anyone ever been here?

    Well, not sure at all. There was a big bunch of Pilgrims between the directional sign and me. It was still very dark so I couldn't see anything. I asked those who stood before the sign which WAY to Los Arcos and they responded, 750 METERS TO THE LEFT. Before I arrived at the edge of the wooded...

    Lost.... On the way from Estella to Los Arcos, lost my way. Climbed a mountain and found this. Anyone ever been here?

    I'm not too sure about the church in -the picture although the Crucifix above the altar looks the same as mine. The church in my Pic is quite different. Another thing is that both the church and altar are not visible from below as in the pictures on Google. Also, there are either steps/ seating...

    Will follow your suggestion. I'd have liked to post the ancient chapel but it is not loading. Will try again a bit later.

    Lost.... On the way from Estella to Los Arcos, lost my way. Climbed a mountain and found this. Anyone ever been here?

    Entirely agree. That man who helped me down that mountain need not have don e so, but he did. When we were parting ways, he took me by the shoulders, turned me around and said, Look, that's where you you were, as he pointed up towards the towering wooded mountain. Then he left me and walked on...

    Wow, a blizzard. That really sounds scary.. But as you point out all ended well. And let's face it, THAT'S CAMINO FOR YOU, isn't it?

    Lost.... On the way from Estella to Los Arcos, lost my way. Climbed a mountain and found this. Anyone ever been here?

    Adventure? Ha ha, not too sure about that. But, yes.the wrist was very troublesome, especially as the climb was so steep and loose stones everywhere. I would grab at a bush/tree root and tug to make sure it was solid enough before hauling myself up an inch at a time. I'm sure if I'd lost my...

    Lost.... On the way from Estella to Los Arcos, lost my way. Climbed a mountain and found this. Anyone ever been here?

    Well, all the familiar Camino signs were there and quite a few Pilgrims passed by as I sat in a park with a fountain which if I remember correctly, was dedicated to a Miguel. I'm not too sure of the name. I sat there for some time trying to get my strength back and start walking again. I am a...

    Lost.... On the way from Estella to Los Arcos, lost my way. Climbed a mountain and found this. Anyone ever been here?

    I had just left the church that dispenses wine and water. After the first directional sign a little further from the church. I took the left turn into the wooded area. Oh, while in that wooded area I came across a sign that read LA PILA. But I walked to the right of that sign. Half way up the...

    Lost.... On the way from Estella to Los Arcos, lost my way. Climbed a mountain and found this. Anyone ever been here?

    Thank you so much. At least I have a name now and I can go forward a bit. Yes. You're right, I spent almost the entire day practically crawling up that mountain then trying to find my way off the other side. I had a broken wrist and really struggling. I was truly traumatized by the while...
